The Secret of the Grain-Perfect: Steaming Rice with Accuracy ±1°C

How much money do you lose each year for grains parties or cooking uneven in your process of vaporized?

The rice market is relentless: the consumer demands a whole grain, golden and firm. If your processing plant continues to rely on manual valves and estimates “by eye”, you're giving away quality. In Agrex Solutionswe understand that in the vaporized rice sustainablethe accuracy is the queen.

Forget about the wastage of grains brittle. It's time to talk about technology of precision thermal.

Total Control: The difference between ±1°C

The process of parboiling (vaporized) requires gelatinizar the starch without destroying the structure of the grain. A variation of just 3 degrees can result in a lot “masacotudo” or in grains that are broken down to grind.

The technology Agrex offers:

  • Valves Modulating Smart: Unlike the valves of fixed aperture, our systems adjust the flow of steam to the millimetre to maintain the exact temperature, without peaks or falls.
  • Tanks Soak with Recirculation: Ensure that each grain to be given the same hydration and temperature, eliminating the fermentation unwanted and bad odor.
  • Drying Homogeneous: Our dryers post-vaporized avoid thermal shock, the #1 cause of split grain (fissuring).

Performance Miller: Increases the percentage of whole grain in a 5-8%. The current price of the rice, this is pure profit.

Color consistency: Achieved that tone amber uniform that they prefer to market premium of export.

Saving of Water and Steam: Our closed-loop systems recycle the hot water and optimize the steam, reducing the water footprint and energy.

Case Success: Molino “El Dorado” (Lambayeque, Peru)

The Challenge: The mill had an 18% grain broken (ñelén) after the vaporized and complaints of clients by uneven coloring.

The Intervention Agrex: Automation of the section autoclave with PLC and temperature sensors of high sensitivity.

The Result:

  • Grain Broken: Reduced to 4%.
  • Sale value: The product became of category “Standard” to “Extra”, by increasing the selling price per ton in about 15%.
  • Support: Preventive maintenance to local computer Agrex Peru.
